“Small but growing number of WEALTHY Americans.” Lower income families cannot just move because of climate change, they have to stay where they are and deal with the conditions. This just further highlights wealth inequality in the U.S. and how many people have the ability to further ignore the problem.
True. Especially if it's a family living in the southern region wanted to move to the east or west coast
The poor are left to fight for scraps with the cockroaches down in the sewers were it's cooler.
@@ElectricityTaster😂
You can run but you can't hide...how about showcasing some of the people in CA who can't afford to move away to places like Vermont and hear their helpful stories of how they are adapting, out of necessity, to living with wildfires, etc.
As a Californian in the valley, the bigger the fires, the worse the smoke gets. It’s only a matter of time before CA gets it’s “Australian Bushfire” moment and the effects of our wildfires start making it worse for other states too.
Edit: I’ll point out that, not only does Oregon and Washington ALSO get our smoke, but they’ve started having massive wildfires themselves as well. It’s getting just as rough in the Atlantic states with hurricanes and storms.
@@xXprettyxkittyXx Did you hear about the lunatics in Utah. They refused to put the breaks on their population group and water ration. Now the Great Salt Lake is drying up and will lead to tens of millions of birds to die and go extinct. Not only that, but it will expose the lake bed causing carcinogenic dust to fly around the former lake killing thousands. Republicans are so stupid.
Climate change is natural. Move or adapt is all we can do.

Vermont is not ready for more people, people in Vermont are struggling. So many rich families moving in that it's forcing Vermonters out. Vermonters can't afford to stay and the Green Mountain state is slowly losing land because of excessive building and making room for new residents or travelers/vacationers.
Really sorry to hear this. Same thing happening to once-affordable rural towns and place in the Mojave Desert, where I live, due to urban flight from people in L.A., S.F., N.Y, etc who come in with way more $$ than the people already here, and the scourge known as Air BnB (Joshua Tree NP tourists) -- both heavy impacts causing a huge displacement of longtime residents and the lesser affluent. Heartbreaking & sickening.
It really sucks they are some of the most toxic people as well. Good days are over if the drought goes on
Happening in Florida too.
I agree. Californians. Stay in California. Or if you move…don’t bring your crap to other places. Adapt or don’t come.
@@AlexZ-lc6nl that’s the beauty of capitalism and the free market everyone can move anywhere. Vermonters should adapt or shut up
Notice that these folks built a huge house with a swimming pool. Wonder what the impact on our climate would be if everyone did this.
None if the world was powered 100% by clean, emissions free nuclear power. It's cleaner than renewables like solar and wind when factors like the quantity of materials and equipment needed, amount of land used and the amount of garbage generated are taken into consideration.
We should already have reactors that are completely immune to melting down. The Integral Fast Reactor at Argonne National Laboratory was shut down in 1994 when it was almost completed. Such reactors should be powering the world now along with molten salt reactors. The Molten Salt Breeder Reactor program was shut down by Richard Nixon in the 70s and was not close to being as well developed.
I hate it when people sit in their car while the car is running. WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM???
These people are 100% the problem
Look out Vermont; and the upper mid western states; there will be plenty of financially stabled people from California; and Nevada; and Washington state.; and Oregon that will relocate; and drive up the cost of housing; and cost of living in your states!
When I was young we never had an air conditioner and it was ok. Sometimes it would get kind of hot but nothing too bad. We would just open the doors. Now the summer time in California is way too HOT. I had to give in and buy an AC because I got dehydrated and I was realized that it was getting worse every year. I am still pretty young so I am very concerned with how hot it has become. I live in the valley and there use to be lots of trees and flowers and now I see we are turning into a desert.
Vermont had cataclysmic flooding a few years ago. Everyone forgets! Lost most of our covered bridges. Issues from climate are everywhere.
They moved into a big house with a huge pool… reproducing the same selfish behavior that is stressing the climate around the world, and has already destroyed much of California. Those parents should teach their children to respect nature, stop consuming and wasting resources as essential as water. May they continue to enjoy their pool for a few more years…until Vermont runs out of it.
Sorry but Vermont has plenty of water.
But i really would agree that private pools should be outlawed in much of Nevada and Arizona
Believe it or not, but most pools use less water than watering the lawn consecutively for a year. You should do your research. A pool’s water can last for 5 years, and the only “consumption” comes from topping it off every once in a while when water levels decline following precipitation.
Exactly!! Pools are 100% unnecessary and a total waste of precious and limited water, especially now in day's.
They should have moved into a trailer park.
@@mikita431 That's a load of horse sh**.
Yet we continue to do nothing to combat it🤦🏾♀️
Our ancestors moved around constantly because of natural and catastrophic events. It’s only rational to move away from an area that’s going through a traumatic change!
Now the only problem now is most of families can’t afford to move across the country. And this is going to be a very sad future for so many people, who are basically gonna be left behind…
Boy a debt jubilee would come in quite handy right about now, no? At least when it comes to the basics of life like a home, all debt should be erased for everyone every X years, those ancients and their ancient practices weren't that stupid.
Doesn’t matter where you live when the food supply starts to get tight. 🥂
Eat the rich.
Oh, don't worry, Bill Gates is already preparing his pockets for this exact scenario.
Ummm... yes it will matter where you live when the food supply is effected.
Soylent Green is made of people!!!
25% of the food supply in america goes to waste/is thrown away. just so you know
We can only run so far... The right way to handle this problem is to tackle it by regreening our planet, stop consumerism, Go Green!
It has nothing to do with reducing the number of consumers, right?
Let's call a spade a spade. Reducing one's ecological impact to the lowest possible affect is only a drop in the bucket compared to raising one single child.
Think about the number, 8 Billion. Try to conceptualize that. No amount of photosynthesis will offset that degree of consumption, ever. 'Sustainable' and 'green' are just empty marketing terms; such words are just nervous humming to tell the dying that they'll be alright.
As the population continues to rise, so will our problems.
Tell that to India and China who are ramping up their industrial sectors pumping all kinds of pollution into the air a rate far higher than what we do here in the United States
@@brizzle3903 As though we didn't just go through an industrial-age boom of our own, right?
I live in coal country, where some of our rivers still run orange from mine drainage. Our economic success here is the result of generations of environmental abuse. Would you expect people to remain poor, instead? Why does _your_ family deserve the benefit of doing it, but nobody else's does?
Spare me the talking point. We're all guilty.
@@brizzle3903 The world has told them. But if they don't listen then they will die of the consequence. We on the other hand need to save ourselves and our soil/land. We need to be smart because if our land is dead we will have no food or water. We will beg for food. If They destroy their land and air they will die of that and beg us for food.
@@ligbzd837 they are sovereign nations nobody can force them to comply with any climate deals whatsoever, even when they “sign” deals they don’t ever comply and go about their merry way because there’s no enforcement clause nor could their ever be one
This should be titled "Millionaires moving to places more resistant to climate change." Oh my god the hardship, the suffering!
The EPIC Climate-WIN this Week had was covered by 'Vlogbrothers', but lets not stop here; though celebrating is welcomed. Go to your local School-Board and ask if not at the very, very least the School-Friendly Climate-Coverage of 'UpisNotJump' cant be shown in all Classrooms.
Do your part.
"the sky is falling, and my kid is scared"
It only makes sense to migrate to a more safe climate area of the nation. Our ancestors had to move according to environmental changes for their own survival.
this is caused by co2 emissions emitted from the burning of fossil fuels. Thirty years ago Dr James Hanson warned the Senate that if co2 emissions were not reduced Americans would see these events by 2050 but was not to certain of there occurrences.
And where would that be??
The areas upon which we rely for our food supply; can they just relocate?
@@ameliaerin1544 Northeast, Southeast, East, and even outside of the United States.
@@john15008 I live in the Southeast where this region may have its moments of climate issues but for the most part, we are still enjoying agriculture and no wild fires.
You can say it all you want but nobody gonna do anything about climate change because people don't care and I'm sick and tired of it 😡😡😡
What have you done?
More people talk about the apocalypse the more Giant Pickup trucks appear in my office parking lot. People are upsizing.
You are no where NEAR "sick" of it yet. Just wait until the respiratory symptoms and the starvation set in. You'll be sick and tired then and you'll be wishing you used less petroleum based products when they asked you to.
@@ladydeerheart1 the same people whining about climate change are the same ones buying massive mansions by the oceans, being driven around gas guzzling SUVs, flying private jets that emit more pollution in 1 flight than you or I do in a single year. If it’s so bad as you continue to claim then why are they still doing it despite the “panic”
What are you going to do about countries like India and China that are ramping up their industrial sectors? Are you going to forcibly get them and other developing nations to comply
I highly doubt it, enough with the alarmist BS this planet will be fine it will always heal itself even if that means giving us humans an eviction notice
Blazing Phoenix, what is your proven, tested, affordable method for controlling weather Earth?
Cali, Nevada, Texas and the west is ripe with drought. It’s not sustainable. Florida is too low in elevation. It used to be a swamp. It’s only a matter of time it floods again along with louisiana. I predict within 50 years, these states will be dire need of infrastructure work so maintenance will be high and insurance will be high making it unprofitable. The upper Midwest and New England will be the safest in 100year plus but even that is not full proof, the east coast will also have flooding problems. If anything canada is the safest if you ask me if you’re looking for generational homes.
@Test Accountant - where in Canada?
Toooo bad we got George W. Instead of AL Gore!!!!! We'd be seeing an entirely different picture today!

god you're logical! your memory sucks, tho. Obama had majorities in 2009 and chose to make HEALTHCARE is major issue NOT climate change. it's as if climate change WAS NOT that important
The irony is people in the US move 100's of miles north to escape the heat only to realize in a few months from now they will be dealing with freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and blizzards in the winter.
That's better than forest fires.
@@karlabritfeld7104 Not if freezing temps damage crops.
Moved to Wisconsin to escape the heat. Know your strengths. I know I deal better with cold than heat. Wisconsin winters don’t bother me and the summers are great. It’s in the 70s here this week.
burning coal, oil, gas, wood to keep warm
I am an East Coast girl. I can take the cold for a few months. Never liked out west myself.
I moved from Phoenix to Pittsburgh in 2014 because of climate change and now I'm moving to the Netherlands.
It might end up being wrong in my choice, but the Dutch are phenomenal problem solvers and are tackling climate resilience head-on. They are already the most advanced at handling sea-level rise.
I might try to move to Sweden later.
This is awesome, but if the rest of the world doesn't get their stuff together...you'll(general) be affected everywhere.
@Nobody because they are super rich and can just move somewhere else if it becomes a problem. Also, it's generally unusual for people to take natural disasters into consideration when making decisions. Every time there is a natural flood in the U.S., they rebuild in the exact same spot of the flood, even though it's probably going to flood there again because it's a floodplain.
@@lifesabeach5405 No difference from PNW in the fall/winter. Okay, maybe the temp.
Gosh, you seem paranoid, as if the climate is targeting you or something.
@@jcpenny3606 What a weird comment. People move all the time to see if they can find a better life. It's the whole reason the U.S. exists, for example. Obviously, my comment was very simplistic and I have a ton of other reasons for wanting to move.
So why move to where virgin land, farmed land, forested land must be developed? Ohio, PA, Michigan, Indiana, West Va have thousands of half full cities. Plenty of water.....
Jobs?
And the crimes in these cities.
So instead of fixing the problem, we run from it. Makes sense.
How is this family supposed to fix climate change??
they're supposed to use their super powers to suddenly end it? think before you comment.
This is what my mom told me as a kid.
oh, Simon Stevenson, do tell us the PROVEN, TESTED SOLUTIONS TO CONTROLLING WEATHER ON EARTH.
The answers of their sons made me cry!
What matters is their peace and relief.
It will only get worse. Stop having children, folks. Don’t do this to them.
When resources become scarce...you'll see how animalistic people will become.
Especially people who have no capacity to build anything.
Or solve problems.
Remember that Tsunami in Japan 10 years ago? And they were waiting in line for Red Cross aid?
You won't see that here.
Escaping the impacts of climate change without trying to reduce their carbon footprint by having a swimming pool and no solar panels, where will they move next ?
Swimming pools and no solar panels aren’t causing climate change. Individual is not responsible for the cancers on our planet.
@@Joe-gw9wh individuals collectively are, over consumption and larger carbon footprint in the west is a contributing factor to climate change. The family in the report has moved because the children are concerned about climate change.
@@Justin-jh4ym family carbon emissions are insignificant compared to industry or government/corporate emissions. If you’re going around trying to say people are the reason for climate change cause they take an extra minute in the shower that’s really weird.

I dunno man, I'm looking around at the news, and it looks like everything is turning into Southern California. I mean, wildfires in England? Thames drying up?
I also thought UK, Ireland would stay wet.But its worse ALL over EU. The mediterránean sea 6 degrees hotter. Its apocalíptico.
It’s pretty simple.
A warming planet causes worse extremes: …
Warmer air & water => (leading to) more humidity, heavier rain, and heavier floods.
Hotter air & topsoil => more heatwaves, more evaporation, more drought, and more wildfires.
Hotter Arctic => less ice, less albedo, much less ice.
That's the way it works. It is simple physics.
The evidence is everywhere. Expect more of the same, only worse.
Those with money can move. The poor are screwed.
There is nowhere untouchable in the long run ask people in Eastern Kentucky.
I think you will see more of this around the world. Some areas of the planet may become uninhabitable.
No evidence of that at all.
Yeah like Texas, California, Arizona as the only sad thing is Hispanic don’t want to move because then it be more harder for them to drive to Mexico borders lol without paying higher price tags. So yeah they are riding it out and also others just can’t afford it as they already bought their houses so they have to sell them to move.
I knew it. The Northeast is going to be a hotzone for real estate. It still has trees and water.
This is exactly why I moved back to Michigan from southern California 12 years ago. It was already too dry there.

A family with only 2 kids need that big butt house?
I have moved all over America and I currently live in Raleigh, NC. The best place to live according to me. There's snow for just 4-5 days a year, no forest fire, less crime rate, the hurricanes and cyclones become very weak when it reaches NC, not as hot as California or Texas, all the big tech companies are slowly moving here as well, less psychopaths.
As a Californian, I can’t imagine moving from great weather but I have 2 family members who moved there & echo what you’re saying. 👍🏼
@@mnm3755 Well, NC has amazing weather too.
I’m a millennial and the weather is not the same .. we really messing this planet up ..
The millennials are doomed. Accelerated climate mayhem goes exponential in the second half of the century. Billions are going to starve to death. I'm sorry.
Moving to other states to “escape” yet every state is having issues, not as much rain in some states then flash flooding & landslides. Winters colder then before with more snow or not as cold with less snow & once it hits its food supply shortages power outages etc, hotter summer days with some food shortages plus with stuff not being the greatest & more destroyed from weather it’s already causing issues. Sounds mild but it’s all causing issues with land & farming as is & making prices go up, it’s just like with texas & the water issues, no rain for crops no food for cows so cows are getting sold like crazy & can’t be kept raised or even breed so meat prices will go up. Theirs tax increases in some states for land let alone rising prices as is when stuff already isn’t great in the states & tho California seems to be a focus for news all states are having major problems with drugs & more violence happening along with their own land & weather problems. You really have no state or place to escape to, some may end up seeming worse then others but all places are changing weather & price wise & will only get worse & I’d say much worse given how much hotter it’s suppose to be & how much water is already wasted a lot of crops won’t be growable in certain areas & with wether changing everyones flocking to take up other land in states that will only knock out more possible land for certain crops & cause prices to rise more given the lack of farmable land.
Theirs no win win, no matter what state you live in no matter what country you live in everything globally will continue to change, people moving in masses is only going to worsen it so much more.
Will say it's hotter than when I Was a child.. winters are shorter and weather disasters are more frequent. Also the weather in general is way less predictable in terms of one month to the next.
Its called seasons
And going to get much worse when we lose the arctic ice
Nature's revenge is coming for y'all!!!

I have honestly considered NH over Texas, Arizona and Florida. I like rain and snow. No hurricanes, or drought.
Don't talk only about the hotness, the winter is also getting extremely cold.
You can run but you can’t hide from those UV rays
So this family who is part of the problem flees and let other people fix the problem instead of staying to help.
Would you stick around on the Titanic?
If you come to the upper Midwest I’d just warn you we have the most oppressive winters in the entire country. For a few months it won’t be warm enough to do anything but stay inside and look forward to spring. It will shorten the life of your vehicle, possibly make you feel depressed, and require you to pay high utility costs just to stay alive. It’s just simply amazing here lol. If “the grass is always greener as long as it isn’t on fire” is your attitude though you’ll love it but I sure think it has it’s cons. I think it sucks if you enjoy geographic variations, the outdoors, and want to see something other than cornfields.
Look into AR.........lakes, trees, rolling hills, lots of beautiful buildable land and temperate climate. Lovely place to live unless a "Starbucks' is necessary for life style. This is about loving and learning to live with nature. We need more "BLUE" in this state so your welcome here.
No AR is just as bad as Texas. I was born there, and the last time I had enough with the weather in that state is from when I didn't get sleep for a week due to straight-line winds and tornado warnings. California and Colorado have nature too, just something needs to be done to make sure the droughts stop.

There are a LOT of simple actions communities/governments could make in order to lessen the serious impacts of climate change, but no one ever does them. ALSO GIVING UP FOSSIL FUELS IS NOT THE ONLY ANSWER! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS!

A report by rich people, about rich people, for rich people.
That makes no sense. Learning about climate change is for EVERYONE. We're ALL going to be affected. When you say 'rich', who are you talking about? Billionaires? Multi-millionaires? Millionaires? People with hundred of thousands? Or people with five figures in savings? Perspective can be telling.

If you look online it says main issue with water shortage is the following: What is the main issue with California's water supply?
The problem is inadequate infrastructure and a regulatory system that requires a huge amount of water to run straight to the ocean, so we aren't able to capture what we need to make it through the dry times. The loss of available water also has significant impacts on our ability to generate power.

Not to say that haven't been hit by any of these conditions, just alot less than many other parts of Florida do, do, do, do.......
Deb, watch out for those "Big Snakes" and Gators!!! LOL
Climate change is natural and Florida suffers from isostatic adjustment ( sinking land in this case ) which makes sea level rise seem faster there. That's why the lying alarmists use Florida as a poster child for sea level rise. The Pacific Islands are sinking from subduction, more poster children.
@@cajunjamis9001 the snakes were being controlled by winter weather but it just keeps getting warmer each winter. And alligators only eat people if someone has been feeding them and getting them friendly. Usually that's a tourist and not a local. Locals know better.

Misuse of water with swimming pool, that us used to just brag or sit around but never going in, while other don't even have drinking water.
And most of all, let's displace local people and put them out if their affordable housing option, because we are rich.
We will displace farmers, ranches and many other local metro park t built multi acre housing for us only.
Only to abandon it in few year, because yep, we would have started another wild fire.
Don't they have any shame left.
Raising self entitled kids and narcissism to the sky.
☀️Great Lakes area is safe👍
Look at that big house with a pool! Take that California salary and live like kings in the wilderness. C'mon. It wasn't just the fires, Anne.
Who owns a pool in Vermont? Also houses that big AND new are rare and expensive in Vermont. No offense but they are part of a negative change of the character of some of these regions and are clearly outsiders bringing their priorities to a place without the infrastructure to accommodate. Glad they left a traumatic situation though.
I've had to come to the sad realization that it would be a bad idea for me to move from Wa state to the south. WA is very expensive and cold (for me) 7-8 months out of the year. But having to deal with the future flooding, excessive heat, and increased humidity would be even worse.
"Well we had to move from Vermont as we discovered it snows here and we were afraid we would freeze to death, and we had to write letters to our kids in case we froze".
Never has it been so important so share Knowledge.
Please allow me to recommend you some Climate-Change-Coverage.
Well dont come to Georgia. It's bad here!
California beautiful state the only thing you have to do is to low population

Atlanta doesn't have a lot of weather issues.
@@NKim-gj9vk okay, but this post was about CLIMATE CHANGE.
This will be painfully true for those living in the nations south of the US and around the world. Some have limited funds and may even lack the freedom to move somewhere more livable. We need a worldwide initiative to help them relocate for survival.
Good luck. Calamity is everywhere cause the climate is everywhere
plant more trees
That's not going to work.
Yes, so they will dry out due to drought conditions and become fuel for wildfires.
Too laaaaaate🔥🔥🔥
I live in Iowa now instead of Florida. Don’t have to worry about worsening hurricanes every year.
The EPIC Climate-WIN this Week had was covered by 'Vlogbrothers', but lets not stop here; though celebrating is welcomed. Go to your local School-Board and ask if not at the very, very least the School-Friendly Climate-Coverage of 'UpisNotJump' cant be shown in all Classrooms. This is just one of the many things you can do. City-Plan-Meetings also deter young People by being boring-af, so why not go there and discuss some Videos of 'Not Just Bikes!'?
There is no “good news”. We are too late. We can only slow and mitigate the damage. These people moving around is a fix for them now. All areas will be fine eventually be affected by climate change.
Over the past few years sadly most of the people have been moving to the west and southern states which are typically the most prone to climate change. Cheaper cost of living than their original state is a major factor and then the other one I’ve noticed is that they also mostly prefer to live somewhere where it’s warm year-round and it doesn’t get extremely cold or have blizzards.
The Midwest seems to most people as the region less likely to be impacted by climate change however people don’t seem want to move out there because they say it’s boring and they don’t like the cold weather. Ultimately that may change when people realize that there’s a lot at stake if they stay in those prone regions that they are madly in love with.
I’m contemplating moving to IL from TX for this reason.
Their house is too big! Stop building McMansions in Vermont. The resources to heat and cool those homes is a strain on the grid/local resources
@@Mimikoo I like that term “McMansion”! I’ll have to use that - whenever the chance arises for me to use it!
@@cw4954 get ready for some more annual flooding and hurricanes i guess
Ok I feel terrible for these kids having parents that rather instill fear and running away than optimistic with proactive to solutions. Of course your child are gonna be cowering in a corner banging his head saying he can’t take it anymore. And they write letters to them threatening the fact that their parents may die?! What the heck?! I’m working in the climate industry right now and it’s these fear talking that makes people unproductive, in denial, and contributes to the continuation of global warming.
Please. Americans are moving to places in an effort to live freely and avoid tyranny.
Unless you are a woman of child bearing age
I have been saying that Detroit needs to repackage itself and sell it s cheap real estate older homes vibrant downtown and history Plus climate
Side by every person complaining about the climate or their flood insurance or all the other things that have happened to them better not be voting Republican the grand climate deniers that they are
Winters are brutal🥶
@@robertmartinjr.6292 not anymore. I've been able to ride my motorcycle into December, and get it out of the garage in March the last 2 years. It used to be October and April
@@LazyboyRecliner don't get comfortable the Frost Giants will return💯
The grass is always greener on the other side... of the wildfire
The kids are stressed because she told them she “might be dead now and they would go live with family members”??? Way to pump up the drama Mom, Geez. They’re little kids. Actually I don’t believe she actually said that, I bet she was encouraged to dramatize things for the news story, like climate change needs to be embellished! These news outlets really are something else.
That living large lifestyle is what is causing the climate crisis
Prior to the last ten years, there were fires in the West, but not like this. Now, the west is heating up, burning up in fires, and running out of water. RE the heat, one thing I've noticed is that it doesn't cool off at night like it used to. Also, we now have fires in our county every year, and the smoke has lasted for months at times. And, while you can rebuild after fire, if you can afford insurance and if you have the money for materials, wells are running dry. You can't live in a place where there is no water.
At just 1.2 degrees of warming, it is very clear that the climate crisis is here. Even thuogh they post otherwise, even the Exxon and Russian trolls who deny it here, know that they are lying when they do so. We have to get off of carbon.
About a third of the food in America, and a quarter of economic productivity, comes from the Southwest. The Southeast will see deadly heat and hurricanes. The rest of the country will see crazy flooding. There is no place that will not be impacted by the climate crisis.
Actually, the number of forest fires is going down, From around 10,000 in 2020 to 6000 in 2021.
Running out of water is not a climate problem, it is an overuse & poor water management problem, For example, when the Hoover Dam was completed about 1937 & Lake Meade was formed, the population of Ls Vegas was loe 8400, It is now around 3 million with resorts, gigantic casinos & hotels, golf courses, etc, all using tons of water.
The southwest & most of southern California are desert, so we can live in places where there is no water.
I could crush the rest of your comments but why waste time.
Well they might as well move to f**king Jupiter!
We have talked about moving to Maine for this very reason.
This will just put stress on other states. This is not the answer
We did to ourselves.
